Managing skin allergies often involves multiple approaches:
- Avoiding known allergens or triggers.
- Bathing your pet with special shampoos to remove allergens from the skin and/or protect the skin barrier.
- Use of prescription medications, such as antihistamines, topical creams or sprays, immune-modulating drugs, or corticosteroids.
- Following an appropriate flea control regimen.
- In some cases, a special hypoallergenic diet may be recommended.
